Pakistan has enacted US $ 1.5 billion defense agreements with Sudan, the biggest weapon in Pakistan’s history. The move shows Islamabad’s growing influence and determination to intensify Sudan’s military campaign between the civil war as a global arms supplier.

The agreement was signed during the visit of a high Sudani military delegation to Islamabad, which not only symbolizes deep bilateral relations between the two countries, but also a symbol of change in power balance in Africa’s most bloody conflict.

What will Pakistan give to Sudan?

According to the report of Defense Security Asia, this weapon deal between Pakistan and Sudan also includes air, ground and air defense systems, which have been designed to give Sudani Armed Forces (SAFs) a lead at the Rapid Support Force (RSF). At the forefront is 10K-8 Karakoram training/mildly attacked aircraft, a product of Pakistan-China defense cooperation and designed to play dual role in pilot training and nearest air aid.

Increase in Sudan’s air power

Equipped with Hardpoint for air-to-ground weapons and un-directed rockets, the-8, Sudan enables Sudan to deploy attacking aircraft in anti-terrorism operations in the outskirts of Darfur and Khatum. This has further increased the air power of Sudan, as well as the MiG-21 engines further enhance the lifeline of its Soviet-Eugenic fleet, which remains an important part of the SAF’s war system.
Although these aircraft are outdated according to modern standards, MiG-21 is still capable of playing limited air defense and attacking roles, especially when they get the support of new drone aircraft.

Ground forces will get 150 ASV Mohafiz armored vehicles

The large-scale use of drones in the operation of SAF will enters the Sudan network drone to the era of war, which is similar to the strategy used in Ukraine, Nagorno-Karabakh and Yemen. Apart from this, the ground forces of Sudan will be strengthened by 150 ASV Mohafiz armored vehicles, which will provide protection from small arms and IEDs, especially important for urban war, where RSF units are deployed.

China-pakistan weapon deal: China is now trying to take advantage of Pakistan’s restlessness due to India’s growing military power in South Asia. On the one hand, India is constantly strengthening its military strength with Rafael, Tejas and indigenous missiles, on the other hand, China now wants Pakistan to give a huge arms deal to Pakistan by citing “threat of India”. This is the reason why China has now offered Pakistan to provide advanced J-35 Stealth Fighter Jets, KJ-500 AWACS and HQ-19 air defense system.

J-35 Stealth Fighter: New flight to Pakistan’s air power
J-35 is China’s fifth generation stealth fighter jet, which is considered equivalent to F-35 of America. Equipped with advanced stealth technology, speed, and sensor fusion capabilities, this aircraft can give Pakistan a strategic lead in the air sector. If Pakistan Air Force gets these 40 fighters, it will increase its immunity against potential rivals like India manifold. J-35, Pakistan’s existing JF-17 Thunder will give strong support.

KJ-500 AWACS: A sharp eye on the sky
The KJ-500 is AWACS aircraft equipped with an advanced radar system, which can identify and track air and marine goals from a distance. The system is capable of giving real-time intelligence to the Air Force and the Army, making it easier to operate complex military operations. The association of this system will improve Pakistan’s Air Early Warning Capacity and Scheduical Awareness.

HQ-19 Air Defense System: Prevention of missiles and airstrikes
HQ-19 is capable of intercepting air defense systems, ballistic and cruise missiles as well as fighter aircraft. It is considered equivalent to the Russian S-400.
This system can create a layering security system like Pakistan’s iron dome, which will strengthen the security of military bases and important infrastructure.

New challenge for India?
India cannot take this military deal lightly. This sudden increase in Pakistan’s air power can affect the strategic balance of South Asia. Especially anti-mesile systems like HQ-19 can increase concern for India’s nuclear and missile policy.
